But what you didn’t see were the years before that—trying different businesses, walking away from businesses that made great money but weren’t what I wanted for my life, and pushing through times when I felt like I was giving everything but barely keeping up with life at home with my wife and boys.I lost three years and $100k on my first ‘real’ business in my mid-20s. I spent years building another company only to give back my equity and walk away. People see success, but they don’t see the long, exhausting, and uncertain road it took to get here—just like the one you might be on now.This channel is where I share what I’ve learned—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently.I don’t have a grand plan for this. Maybe I’ll coach again (I used to own a coaching business). Maybe I’ll help young entrepreneurs. Maybe I’ll start another software company (probably not). I just know that sharing what I’ve learned is valuable, and I enjoy it.  Plus, it keeps my options open. It’s always good to have an audience and be known.If you’re building something and want to avoid years of trial and error, stick around. I’ve got a few ideas to share.  Curious why I named this channel 5ForFifty?  Here’s what I believe: https://youtu.be/taeJ95dCwcw- Jonathan

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
